Women in the Civil Rights and Social Justice Movement Today

Women in the Civil Rights and Social Justice Movement
Even before Sojourner Truth delivered her famous "Ain't I A Woman" speech in 1851 women have played a prominent role in the Civil Rights and Social Justice Movements. We will engage in provocative discussion with women who have been and remain at the forefront of the Social Justice movement today. Why is the woman's voice so necessary in advancing the movement? Is there still male domination at the top of contemporary social justice and civil rights organizations today?
Listen to an enlightening discussion by my special guests include: Mrs. Carolyn Coleman, one of the remaining matriarchs of the Civil Rights movement, former COFA youth Civil Rights worker in the 1960s; member and secretary of the NAACP national Board of Directors; First Vice President of the N.C. State Conference of the NAACP.
Ms. Erin Byrd, identified as one of the most effective 30-something community activists and organizers in the Southeast; member of Black Workers For Justice and Fruit of Labor Ensemble, and Political Action Chair for the N.C. NAACP.
